FX1/FX2 Effects List
This is a list of the effects that can be selected for FX1/FX2.
Effect Name Explanation
T . WAH
(Touch Wah) You can produce a wah effect with the filter
changing in response to the guitar level.
AUTO WAH
(Auto Wah) This changes the filtering over a periodic cycle,
providing an automatic wah effect.
SUB WAH
You can control the wah effect in real time by
adjusting the [EXP] pedal or the expression pedal
connected to the SUB CTL 1, 2/SUB EXP jack.
ADV . COMP
(Advanced
Compressor)
This is an effect that produces a long sustain by
evening out the volume level of the input signal.
You can also use it as a limiter to suppress only the
sound peaks and prevent distortion.
LIMITER
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent
distortion.
SUB OD/DS
This effect distorts the sound to create long
sustain. It provides 21 types of distortion. For the
types of distortion that can be selected for OD/DS,
refer to “OD/DS Type List.”
* “CUSTOM” is not available.
GRAPHIC EQ
(Graphic Equalizer) This adjusts the tone as a equalizer. You can adjust
the sound quality in ten bands.
PARA EQ
(Parametric Equalizer) Adjusts the tonal quality. You can adjust the sound
quality in four bands.
TONE MODIFY This changes the tone of the connected guitar.
GUITAR SIM
(Guitar Simulator)
Simulation of the characteristics of particular guitar
components such as pickups and different guitar
bodies allows you to switch among a number of
different guitar types all while using a single guitar.
SLOW GEAR
This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like”
sound).
DEFRETTER This simulates a fretless guitar.
WAVE SYNTH
This is a synth sound that processes the guitar
input signal.
SITAR SIM .
(Sitar Simulator)
This simulates the sound of the sitar.
OCTAVE
This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer
sound.
PITCH SHIFTER
This effect changes the pitch of the original sound
(up or down) within a range of two octaves.
HARMONIST
Harmonist is an effect where the amount of
shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the
guitar input, allowing you to create harmonics
based on diatonic scales.
SOUND HOLD
You can have sound played on the guitar be held
continuously. This effect allows you to perform the
melody in the upper registers while holding a note
in the lower registers.
Effect Name Explanation
AC . PROCESSOR
(Acoustic Processor)
This processor allows you to change the sound
produced by the pickup on an acoustic electric
guitar, creating a richer sound similar to that
obtained with a microphone placed close to the
guitar.
PHASER
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct
sound, the phaser effect gives a whooshing,
swirling character to the sound.
FLANGER
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-
like character to the sound.
TREMOLO
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in
volume.
ROTARY
This produces an effect like the sound of a rotary
speaker.
UNI-V
This models a Uni-Vibe.
Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also
provides a unique undulation that you can’t get
with a regular phaser.
PAN
With the volume level of the left and right sides
alternately changing, when playing sound in
stereo, you can get an effect that makes the guitar
sound appear to fly back and forth between the
speakers.
SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create
the impression that a rhythm backing phrase is
being played.
VIBRATO
This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating
the pitch.
RING MOD .
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating
the guitar sound with the signal from the internal
oscillator. The sound can be unmusical and lack
distinctive pitches.
HUMANIZER This can create human vowel-like sounds.
2X2 CHORUS
Frequency band division is employed to produce
two different choruses, one for low frequencies and
one for higher frequencies, for both the left and
right channels (for a total of four). This allows you
to achieve a more natural chorus sound.
SUB DELAY
This is a delay with the maximum delay time of
1,000 ms. This effect is useful for making the sound
fatter.
